.Multiple Love
I still believe in love at first sight.
A skip of your heart and a flicker of light.
So maybe there’s two and maybe it’s you.
But I don’t go quietly into the blue, cos

I am happy alone.
I am happy alone, and I don’t
Need another half if I am whole
But maybe, persuade me,
And I’ll do the best that I can

ty Tiffany Coffman, a special poet
for the music share, this beautiful
song inspired this poem and
was written to its tempo

Gotta love this, and this Tiffany Coffman apart from having a beautiful voice the I actually agree with the beautiful lyrics. About being good with yourself by yourself but to be open for that persuasion of not being a lone.
But your writing is still better. Nice Haiku.

hey Charlie, how have you been? and ty for your compliment, this poem has been rumbling around for a while. it came together when Tiffany Coffman who is a poet i follow, posted this song on her blog. so sorry for the poorly written passage.

i posted the lyrics out of respect for those who can live their lives feeling whole, uncoupled.
i just happen not to be among them, i’m just wired that way.LOL!
and i agree, her voice is phenomenal.

“…spinning my lonely circles…had i become…. L o v e’s. misfit….? i heard my .H e a r t. whispering… try, try…” Another beautiful, vivid and visual, aching lament… ultimately redemptive (yay!). I feel that part of the power of your prodigious pen, MasterWho, is that you reveal to us pain that is deeply felt, universally understood, yet contained somehow. So that the work is potent, raw, but also painted with some restraint. I really dig this piece of your writing. So glad you listened to your resilient and wise heart. xo

oh Sirena, ty so much for saying this to me,’ painted with some restraint.’
i’m very conscious about possibly crossing the fine line into sentimentality,
it’s why i write better when i have distance between what i’m writing about.
and Haiku is the perfect form for such restraint, i mis chosen word is glaring
when there are only 17 syllables.

i’ve always been led by my heart and intuition,
my head seemed to just cause me trouble! LOL!

hi Tiffany, having a poem that’s been rolling around in my head, and then finally crystallize because of a song, well, that’s an event for me. it’s like being granted a wish, it’s small token considering the result!

i appreciate you saying that, and it’s one of the reasons i loved this song.
there is an opposing complexity between the lyrics and the melancholy music,
much like it is in our lives. i totally understand your frustration at that
suggestion, i heard it too. all i knew is i wasn’t meant to be alone, whole or not!

‘had i become… L o v e ‘s. misfit’ Wow how many of us have asked ourself that..are we unlovable that love continues to elude us..love the end..it seems to be innate in us to shout back..’try try. Love is life and in the essence of survival we fight like lack of love is our dying breath and we won’t let it be our last until love comes to rescue us.

You and me both brother, I think he actually wrote two or three books of nothing but wise sayings haha! I just thought that quote fit your poem, and things said in comments too, so very well! Ive always loved that one but never really had a time to use until today so I am very glad you enjoyed that!

Anytime Dude, yeah sometimes when I’m feeling especially uninspired I like to read those short little wise sayings and usually they spark a thought on something to write about, but if not they are always enlightening!

ty Bianca, we all do, all of us. and i guess that what i was trying to express, because in our loneliness, we forget. i’m just grateful to have found and be found, and i’m glad these words resonated with you. it’s as much as a writer could ask.
